Gutter Boys

Boy howdy we did it. The haters said it would never be happen, but we proved them wrong once again. On this VERY SPECIAL Gutter Boys episode, we chat with writer Marc Kopinarov and cartoonist Greg Petre about their upcoming reprint of Santos Sisters published by Floating World Comics. Marc and Greg (one-half of Greg & Fake) share their thoughts on the new comic, how the team came together, their past work on Beef Jams, the state of modern comics, and why Santos Sisters is on track to being one of the greatest funny books of all time.

You can follow Marc and Greg on Instagram @crambackward and @gregandfake.

Did you know that goths have the lowest "life satisfaction levels" of any subculture? We here at Gutter Boys work with goths at various locations around the US to bring out their hidden potential. Fortunately, this week's guest isn't plagued by this rampant epidemic and is in fact already well on her way to the top. Bianca Xunise is a Chicago-based cartoonist known for her contributions to the nationally syndicated comic strip Six Chix as well as multiple strips for various publications including The Nib, Vogue, and the Washington Post. We talk about her early life as a cartoonist, her influences and motivations, how she got into comics, and her current project and upcoming book Punk Rock Karaoke which will debut in 2023 from Viking Press.

Welcome Gutter Gang to another year of real talk from the boys! We're starting this year hot with plenty of shout outs and shilling (GUTTERBOYS.TOP) to start things off. For this episode, we're pulling out another gem from the Hocking Hills vault from what feels like forever ago (six months to be exact) when we sat down with Chicago-based cartoonist Alex Nall, and it's a real genuine heart warmer. Alex shares his development as a cartoonist, his love for making comics starting in high school, how he became an educator, his autobiographical book Are Comic Books Real, his current ongoing series Kids with Guns, and what his plans are for the near future.

Follow Alex on Instagram @alexnall0 and pick up a comic or two from his webstore.

Trash bags filled with cut ribbons and torn wrapping paper line the streets. Fridges across the country are packed to the brim with Tupperware containers full of leftovers. The eggnog is gone, and so is the brother-in-law that loves saying the N word, and he's definitely not black. All signs point to the the day Dr. Melfi referred to as "Stressmas" has come and gone once again and we're nearing the end of another year. But before everyone huddles around their COVID-exposed friends and family to welcome 2022, there's still one more Gutter Boys episode to stream so you can find out who are this years PIMPS & SIMPS of 2021. After the awards, we're joined with Brian Baynes of Bubbles Fanzine and Ryan Holmberg to discuss their recent book Bat Kid. Originally written and drawn by Inoue Kazuo and serialized in Manga Shōnen from 1947 to 1949, Bat Kid was re-released this year by Bubbles in a brand new English translation to reintroduce a whole new generation of comic readers to post-war manga and Kazuo's influential career.

CRIKEY! If there's one thing the Gutter Boys know all too well, it's Knifey-Spoony. And coincidentally enough, so does our special guest for this week. Hailing from Tasmania, Australia and currently residing in beautiful Santa Clarita, California, Simon Hanselmann has been lighting up the comics world for nearly a decade with his ongoing comic series Megg, Mogg, and Owl. On this episode we shoot the proverbial, covering a variety of topics including our favorite shielas, the regional importance of "," wanking Japanese businessmen, and the dangers of being raised in burlesque.

Gutter Boys may be on holiday, but we're still pumping out new episodes for the real ones. This week's guest is CM Campbell, Columbus-based artist, cartoonist, curator, and comics professor at Columbus College of Art & Design. We chat about his long journey that led him to comics, his newest self-published work titled That Ol' English, his experience working with Hyperallergic, and his love for teaching. Although this one is a little more heady than usual, we still manage to crack some jokes for some cheap pops.
